♦ Step Six:
___________________________________________
Accepted my role as a true co-creator with Spirit—never expecting Spirit to do for me what it can only do through me.
I, as a co-creator with Spirit, have the power to bring about my own transformation. Spirit creates everything yet I, through the power of my own consciousness, can direct Spirit; and the highest I can wish for or imagine for myself is exactly what Spirit most ardently sets about creating for me.
I accept my role in this divine partnership--which is to direct Spirit so as to create more and more love, joy, abundance, fulfillment, and beauty for me to experience in this life. As such, as a co-creator with Spirit (of my own life) I cannot have Spirit do for me what it can only do through me.
Co-Creation
Once we understand the nature of Spirit, and our creative unity with Spirit, it becomes our noble endeavor to use our creative power in a way that is truly beneficial—in a way that actuates a positive change in our life, restores us to wholeness, and aligns us with Spirit-Life. Our consciousness is the crucial ingredient that we bring to this alchemical process, which always takes place in partnership with Spirit. Divine intervention is afforded through us, through our own consciousness, through what we conceive and are able to allow.
As an individual, in touch with our creative power, we are in the position of choice with respect to how we want to use that power. That power is directed through what we belief, what we hold to be true, what is natural to us, and what we conceive to be possible for ourselves. The influx of Spirit, the redeeming power of Grace, is always dispensed to us in accordance with what we are able to conceive (and believe) for ourselves.
Quotes
We must do our share in the work, and not expect God to do for us what He can only do through us. We are to use our common sense and natural faculties in working upon the conditions now present. We must make use of them, as far as they go, but we must not try and go further than the present things require; we must not try to force things, but allow them to grow naturally, knowing that they are doing so under the guidance of the All-Creating Wisdom. (Thomas Troward, Doré Lectures, Ch. 2)
“In giving birth to your ideal you must bear in mind that the methods of mental and spiritual knowledge are entirely different. This is a point that is truly understood by, probably, not more than one person in a million. You know a thing mentally by looking at it from outside, by comparing it with other things, by analyzing it and defining it, by thinking of it; whereas you can know a thing spiritually only by becoming it [which does not require a conditioned or learned kind of intelligence], only by thinking from it.” (Neville, The Power of Awareness, p. 10)
